The Tullahoma Fair and Blood Horse
Association.

EDITOR STANDARD:-We desire
through the medium of your paper
to announce to the citizens of War
rem county, that through the exertions
and enterprise of your venerable and
distinguished citizen, Col. Jno. H.
French, Esq, we have organized
Grand Fair, Trotting and Blood
Horse Association, to be located at
Tullahoma. We invite the cooper
alton of the farmers and stock-breed-
erS and turfmen of Warren, White,
Cannon, Coffee, Franklin, Moore, Lin
coin, and Bedford counties, in order
to make this enterprise the grandest
affair of the kind in Tennessee.
Tullahoma has been selected on
account Of its:central location, access
Utility. and the express desire of the
turfmen of Middle Tennessee, who
promise to move hither their stables,
and make this the racing center of
the South.
Sixty acres have been selected on
the border of Rock creek, stream of
pure spring water, and in the vicinity
of the Big spring, 8 by Effect in extent,
whose waters can be conveyed all
over the ground, north, east and
south, and magnificent forests, MAX
ing grand shaded picnic ground for
$4,000 people.
The grounds were selected by Col.
French himself, who esteems them
unequaled for beauty, and splendidly
adapted for the purpose. A grand
avenue 100 feet wide, beautifully
shaded, will be opened from the rail-
road to the ground.
Already $4,000 worth of stock has
been subscribed by our own citizens,
and it is desired that an equal amount
should be taken by the citizens of the
above mentioned counties in order to
carry out the idea of construction, on
the grand scale contemplated.
The race course will be a mile in
circuit, and the buildings will be of
commensurate dimensions.
1t is pleasing to contemplate the
effect or results of such an enterprise
in our glorious mountain district.
Fine herses, fine cattle, improved
methods of farming, deeper interest
in agricultural affairs, greater attach
ment to the soil, the clearing and
cultivating of our thousands of acres
of virgin lands, the development of
our mineral land, the attraction of
immigrants, capital and enterprise,
and more particularly the attraction
of our young men to the fact that
profitable farming is insured in the
raising of fine stock fine fruits, grasses
the products of the Dairy and Muir
series,et ceteras, Tennessee is destined
to become in a few years, the great
horse breeding center of this cont.
nent. Within a few months there
have been sold in Middle Tennessee
over 100000 worth of colts! Public.
spirited citizens of Warren join us in
this grand enterprise.
BY THE ASSOCIATION.

WE publish in another place this
week rather a caustic criticism upon
the sermon which Rev. VIM. III.
Black delivered at the G. p. Church
in this place last Sunday night. We
give place to this not because we agree
with the writer altogether in his
views, but simply because it presents
in very able and interesting manner
a converse side to the positions as
sumed by the reverend gentleman.
Mr.. Black, in his Sunday morning
discourse, held that the highest mis-
sion and aim of education or mind
culture was the development of free
and independent thought, the eleva-
ton of the mental capacities to an eX-
allied plane of self reasoning which
would work out the intricate prob
lens and hypothesis of the mind in
dependently of the time worn ruts
through printed literature and text
books. In other words, that educa-
ton should enable people to do their
own thinking, and not merely gather
in and accept as conclusive the ex-
pressed productions of others minds.
The author of the article referred to
seems to have exercised this independ-
ent capacity of thought, and he ar
CUES his side of the question in a
manner which evinces not only deep
thought, but a ripe knowledge of the
scriptures, and clear conception of
the claims of science and scientists.

An Extra Session Called For.
New York World.

New York World.
Senators VOORHEES, and Beck are re-
ported as expressing the opinion, in
a conversation at Chicago, that the
President will call an extra session
of Congress for October LIST to consider
the question Of revenue reduction.
This opinion ought to be verified
by the event. An extra session of
Congress is called for, whether it
shall be called or not. 1t is foolish to
belittle the necessity on the basis of
a juggling book-keepers's "net bal
ance" in the Treasury. The undis-
puted fact is that the Government
redeemed in the first ten months of
the present fiscal year $125,0OO,00O
Of the per cent. bonds. There are
only about $l7,000,0O0 of these re-
deemable bonds outstanding, and
they have just been called. Owing
to the failure of several appropria-
tons the surplus will be greater for
the coming year than it has been for
the present one. 1t is likely to reach
$40, 100000. Only a small part of
this surplus can be put to any legit-
innate use. Its collections should be
stopped at the earliest practicable
moment.
Congress should have been assem-.
bled in May. BY calling it together
in October, and confronting it with
an emergency for tax reduction, a
surplus may be stopped which will
otherwise be spent. If the Deem
Der session be awaited, the holiday
recess and the rush ofregularbusiness
will postpone action on the taxes I'M
til next spring. Political expedien-
cy unites with public interest in de-
manding an extra session. The Dem
ocratic party should not go into the
fall elections without one more effort,
and an earnest one, to redeem its
pledge to stop the surplus By reducing
the Wdr tdreS.

To the Farmers of Warren County.

We made mention last week of the
plan of Mr.. Hord, Commissioner of
Agriculture, to organize farmers
clubs in the different counties. We
have since received the following let
ter from Commissioner Hord:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May %, 1887.
DEAR SIR Il earnestly desire to
make the Bureau of Agriculture,
Statistics, Mines and immigration of
the greatest possible benefit to the
State, during my term Of Office, and
especially to the Farmers, believing
as l do that it was mainly in their in
terest that this Department was Gre
ated.
Thequickest andmostpractical way
of doing this I think, is to offer mon
ey premiums in the various counties
for better crops, in quality as well as
in quantity. In order to do this how
ever, with equal fairness and justice
to all, it will benecessary for the farm
ers in different counties to organize
themselves into county clubs or asso-
Citations, so that l can act through
them, and have some organized and
representative body of farmers to
Judge the crops and award the premi-
umS.
1t will be impossible for me to visit
in person every county in the State,
and organize these clubs in time to
give them the benefit of these premi-
ums' in the present crops, and as the
legislature deprived me of the power
ofappointingassistant commissioners,
l must dependupon the country press
to aid me in this work. Believing
that you are heartily in sympathy
with your people, and will cheerful
ly cooperate with any move that
will advance their interest, ask that
you bring this matter before the farm
ers of your county through your pa
per. Urge upon them the import
ance of organizing at once-for it is
my intention to offer premiums on
the present wheat 'crop-and as soon
as an organization is affected, let the
secretary notify this Office and l will
send him list of premiums and
amount Of money to be given by the
Bureau to his county. 1 will also
forward you a list for publication.
The secretary must furnish me the
names and post-office address of all
the officers of the club, also the name
of the club or association.
Trusting that you will give this
matter your favorable consideration,
am, Very truly yours,
B. M. HORD.
